SUMMARY:Michael Murphy: Justice is Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Can buildings heal and promote justice in our divided communities? How can we use design tools to create a healthier community and a more just world? MASS Design Group’s Co-founder and Executive Director Michael Murphy will showcase projects that inquire whether we are missing under-leveraged resources for promoting health\, justice\, and human dignity. With over 20 projects built or under construction around the globe\, MASS has worked to pioneer a practice model that attempts to reinsert architectural agency upstream and for the public benefit. \nSpeaker:\nMichael Murphy\, Co-Founder and Executive Director\, MASS Design Group; Adjunct Associate Professor\, Columbia University GSAPP \nGeneral Public: $10\nMember: Free\nStudent with Valid ID: Free\n \nPhoto: Bret Hartman/TED.\n

SUMMARY:Zone Greener: Higher-Efficiency Wall Systems
DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, the City of New York adopted a package of amendments to the NYC Zoning Resolution\, collectively called Zone Green\, to facilitate more sustainable and energy-efficient design. Zone Green addressed barriers to building thicker\, better-insulated walls. It also covered the inclusion of sustainable design strategies\, such as solar panels\, solar shading systems\, green roofs\, and greenhouses. \nFast forward six years: although Zone Green successfully solved the problems anticipated at the time\, new technologies and new barriers have since emerged. Last fall\, Urban Green convened a Task Force of over 40 stakeholders to develop a roadmap for Zone Greener\, a set of potential upgrades to the Zoning Resolution that would unlock further opportunities for the next generation of green building. \nPart one of this two-part series focuses on building better walls; the second will focus on solar. Expert panelists will address several major wall-related issues identified by the Task Force: thermal bridging\, high-performance curtain walls\, super-efficient walls\, and the re-cladding or over-cladding of mid-century modern buildings. Panelists will also discuss the successes of Zone Green in facilitating the construction of new masonry walls and the addition of exterior insulation. \nMember: Free\nGeneral Public: $10\nStudent with Valid ID: Free

SUMMARY:Designing and Modeling for Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Completed in 2015\, P.S. 62 is NYC’s first net-zero energy school\, designed under the requirements of the New York City School Construction Authority. The 66\,000 square foot\, 2-story school will serve 440 pre-kindergarten through 5th grade students on Staten Island\, NY. The building harvests as much energy from renewable on-site sources as it uses on an annual basis. The primary renewable energy system is a roof mounted photovoltaic array. \nThis presentation will discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by the design team\, while working hand-in-hand with critical decision makers on the owner and user teams. The presentation will cover the schools design and how the energy modeling process evolve throughout the design. Establishing assumptions with user groups\, making design decisions and ultimately establishing energy usage targets\, critical to the Net Zero Goals of the school. \nSpeakers:\nJeffery Rios\, PE\, LEED AP\nAKF; In Posse \nAbout the speaker :\nMr. Rios specializes in increasing energy efficiency within new and existing buildings. He is highly valued for his experience as a mechanical engineer and his expertise in energy modeling platforms. Jeff is a very collaborative member of the team\, working closely with engineers\, designers\, and architects to provide thoughtful\, results–focused solutions. He has shared his expertise at Greenbuild on WELL Building\, at Urban Green on NYC Energy Codes\, and as a continuing lecture \n\nOrganized by\nIBPSA-USA NYC Chapter

SUMMARY:Social Equity in the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:In creating a sustainable building\, what if we could create something that helps the people in the community\, the people who take care of the building and the people who physically built the building? \nWhat if we really understood how to have a dialogue about the sometimes thorny issues of equity in a way that was collaborative\, fruitful and realistic? And what if we had a 2030 Social Challenge as well as a 2030 Building Challenge? \nThis lecture will provide background on why we separate the needs of people from our design process. We will look at case studies of projects that are incorporating strategies to help the less empowered\, at how LEED is approaching these issues and at ways to think about social equity in your projects.  \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSPEAKERS\n\nSusan Kaplan\, LEED Fellow\nPresident\, BuildingWrx \nMindy Thompson Fullilove\, MD\, HON AIA\nProfessor of Urban Policy and Health\, Milano School of International Affairs\, Management and Urban Policy

SUMMARY:Three Strikes: An Overview of our Quest for Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:2018 marks the 50th Anniversary of Paul R. Ehrlich’s seminar book entitled “The population Bomb” and the 30th Anniversary of James Hansen historical testimony on climate change in the US Congress. Decades later\, our quest for sustainability can be characterized by a growing frustration of scientists and activists with the lack of action to subvert environmental catastrophes and series of failed Malthusian prophecies undermining the public trust in the view of skeptics. \nOne has to recognize that during these decades both sides made serious errors. Those who wanted immediate actions made dire predictions prematurely such as major famines\, the end of snowy winters or the disappearance of Arctic Ice. On the other hand\, contrarians fail to admit that infinite growth on a finite planet is undoubtedly unsustainable. \nDespite the regular complaint by advocates about the inability of free societies to mobilize for action\, in reality there were a number of policy actions that clearly failed to accomplish their stated goals or in worse cases turned out to be actually harmful. Perhaps the best example is the biofuel mandate that resulted in growing crops in the developed world to satisfy 5-10% of transportation fuel needs that could feed over 800 million people. \nSome of the misguided policies are due to erroneous prioritization. Moving away from fossil fuels is undeniably a must\, irrespective of climate change since fossil fuels are finite. Decarbonizing our economy is clearly essential for sustainability that solves climate change as byproduct\, while prioritizing on carbon-dioxide emission has led to heavy investments in dead end solutions such as carbon sequestration (through carbon capture and storage). \nThe presentation will discuss energy and water related examples where recognizing the limits of our finite planet is critical\, but the promoted solutions are likely questionable. While\, it is not hard to find more than three strikes where the policies advocated by scientists failed but it would be a mistake to conflate bad sciences with real science. The presentation will show that the failed policies were predictable from start since they violated fundamental scientific principles. \nThe presentation will argue that after decades of mixed results\, it is time to rethink\, how humanity pursues its efforts to sustainable development and lay out a future that recognizes human needs while minimizes their negative impacts on our planet. \nAbout the lecturer:  \nBalázs M. Fekete born in Budapest\, Hungary earned his M.Sc. Degree in Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Budapest in 1984. After graduation\, he worked at the Water Resources Research Centre (VITUKI) where he participated in a wide range of research activities such as agricultural waste water disposal\, agricultural water management\, satellite and airborne remote sensing of water resources. \nAfter the political changes in the late 80s\, he joined a private company (GEOMETRIA Ltd.) to develop geographical information systems solution for municipal and environmental resources management. He continued similar work specifically focusing on the Danube affected by the planned Gabcikovo-Nagymaros dam system\, when he joined an independent research organization (ISTER). \nHe moved to the United States in 1993\, where he started to work on large scale hydrological modeling and water resources assessments at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). He earned his Ph.D. in Earth Sciences at UNH in 2001\, while working as a full time research scientist.  \nDr. Fekete is well known in his field for his work on i) incorporating river discharge information into water resources assessments\, ii) developing simulated river networks at various resolutions\, iii) modeling stable isotope processes in large scale hydrological models\, iv) developing specialized GIS infrastructures to support hydrological modeling\, v) developing advanced modeling frameworks that utilizes modern multicore computers. Dr. Fekete participated in the last two decades in a number of international activities to promote improved Earth system monitoring with particular interest in hydrometeorological observations. \nDr. Fekete moved to New York in 2008 first as a project director at the newly forming Environmental Sciences Initiative of the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center and joined the faculty of the Civil Engineering Department of the City College of New York\, while maintaining affiliate status at ASRC. \nEver since\, Prof. Fekete moved to New York\, he extended his research interest to a wider range of sustainability questions\, with special interest in the tradeoffs between energy\, water and land use.

SUMMARY:The Future of Domestic Hot Water in NYC
DESCRIPTION:As buildings in New York City become more reliant on renewable and stored energy\, air source heat pump (ASHP) domestic hot water systems will likely become more prevalent in multifamily buildings over the coming decades. These systems have specific challenges\, including: \nWhat are the technological barriers? Do any seem insurmountable? \nHow well can new hot water equipment interface with existing piping and infrastructure? \nHow does solar thermal fit in? Is there a future for combined thermal / PV panels in the NYC market? \nCan heat pumps entirely replace conventional hot water heaters\, or will back-up systems be needed? \nThis event builds upon Urban Green’s 2017 conference\, which explored the role of broad electrification of building systems in NYC’s 80×50 Climate Plan. \nRegister here. \nCost: $5-15 based on membership status.

SUMMARY:Blue Dunes: Climate Change by Design
DESCRIPTION:Blue Dunes: Climate Change by Design is a book documenting the proposal to create an offshore barrier island chain in the New York/New Jersey Harbor. Today\, this proposal stands at a crossroads and its potential for the future of coastal protection requires further development. Participating scientists\, engineers\, planners\, economists\, and maritime stakeholders identified critical key issues including: water quality\, habitats\, recreation\, navigation\, constructability\, and funding. The Blue Dunes Research Initiative (BDRI) explored these issues and developed a new approach to coastal protection. Funded originally by HUD and the Rockefeller Foundation through the Rebuild by Design competition\, the work behind this book describes the necessity of creating a knowledge network around resiliency for the entire region’s urban coastal communities; from the organizations that serve them to the scientists invested in researching them. \nMany issues related to storm defense that the scientific community addresses are regional in scope: hydrodynamics\, levels of salinity\, coastal fishing economies\, energy and wind dissipation of storms\, and basic wave physics. The proposal for Blue Dunes transcends political jurisdictions and speaks to the regional issues at play in the Mid-Atlantic coastal systems. \nJoin us for a panel discussion about this project and the Blue Dunes Research Initiative that has the potential to save lives and billions of dollars across the region. \nSpeakers\nClaire Weisz\, FAIA\, WXY architecture + urban design\nJesse M.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Measurement in China: Fostering a Race to the Top
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability is now widely recognized as an essential component for development in China\, with the Chinese government setting ambitious environmental and social targets. However\, the sheer pace of China’s economic growth makes establishing a sustainable development strategy a difficult task that requires purposeful decentralized action. This event will explore the importance of a standardized system to assess sustainability at the local level. We will present and discuss the recently launched China Sustainable Development Indicator System (CSDIS)\, an annual ranking of the sustainability performance of Chinese cities and provinces created jointly by the Earth Institute’s Research Program on Sustainability Policy and Management and Beijing-based CCIEE\, the China Center for International Economic Exchanges. Details of the system are available at urbansustainability.org. \nThe event will introduce the ranking and explore the value of measuring a broad but transparent set of sustainability indicators to encourage cities and provinces to begin a race to the top in environmental quality. The panelists will discuss how such systems can complement policymaking in China’s local administrative system\, the balance between the state and the private sector as well as sustainable development in China more broadly. \nIntroductory Remarks:\n• Steve Cohen\, Executive Director\, Earth Institute \nModerator:\n• Satyajit Bose\, Lecturer and Associate Director of the Research Program on Sustainability Policy & Management \nPanelists:\n• Weiping Wu\, Professor and Director\, Urban Planning Program\, Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning & Preservation\n• Jonathan Krane\, Founder & CEO of KraneShares\n• Dong Guo\, Associate Research Scholar and Director of the Earth Institute China Initiative \n\n \nThis event is free and open to the public; RSVP required. The panel will be followed by a reception with wine\, beer and hors d’oeuvres.\n \nEvent Contact Information: \nKelsie DeFrancia\nkdefrancia@ei.columbia.edu\n

SUMMARY:In Human Time: An Exhibition in Two Parts
DESCRIPTION:Whale Bay\, Antarctica No. 4\, 84×144\, 2016 (reproduction)\nZaria Forman\nWindow installation (galleries closed\, installation viewable from the street) \nDecember 20\, 2017 – January 15\, 2018 \n88 Cores \nPeggy Weil\nJanuary 19\, 2018 – February 11\, 2018 \nIn Human Time\, the first exhibition of the Climate Museum\, explores intersections of polar ice\, humanity\, and time through video and photography installations by artists Zaria Forman and Peggy Weil. It also includes a timeline with artifacts relating the physical history of the Arctic to its significant influence on both culture and science. \nEvery week\, climate news confirms that the poles of the Earth which seem implacably vast and frozen\, unchangeable and forbidding are in fact\, far from invulnerable. Polar ice is disappearing on a scale our minds cannot comprehend. Indeed\, it is one the clearest and strongest demonstrable summaries of the massive changes caused by human action.   In Human Time asks how this contradiction between invulnerability and fragility reflect on us. If on the one hand\, our capacity for awe\, creativity\, curiosity\, knowledge and understanding\, communication and common action offers optimism for our surviving the climate crisis\, our capacity for heedless destruction does not. Our agency—in decision and action—is caught in the tension of our conflicting capacities. \nMeaningful shared action demands a stronger awareness of time\, of its continuum and urgency\, in ways that are often less comfortable or natural to hold. Both Weil and Forman raise these issues at planetary scale: Weil traces planetary temperatures preserved in cores of ancient ice while Forman foregrounds the enduring beauty of landscapes undergoing relentless change. James Baldwin said of the struggle for racial equality and our common humanity that “[t]here is never a time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.” Human beings will be living with climate change past the foreseeable horizon. What that looks like will depend on decisions we make together about our thought\, dialogue\, and action—now. \nFor more information please visit the In Human Time site. \n**The galleries will be closed from December 20\, 2017 – January 18\, 2018. The window installation will be visible from the street.**

SUMMARY:University Roundtable on Deep Energy and Carbon Reductions
DESCRIPTION:AIA New York invites you to attend a university roundtable on deep energy and carbon reductions.\nIn New York City and State\, universities are leading the way in terms of achieving deep\, portfolio-wide energy and carbon emissions. In 2007\, 17 universities accepted the NYC Mayor’s Carbon Challenge to reduce their carbon emissions by 30% in ten years\, and by 2016\, they had reduced their emissions by 17% in aggregate\, with four universities signing on to a 50% reduction target by 2025. At the state level in 2012\, Governor Cuomo issued an executive order requiring NYS agencies\, including the state university system\, SUNY\, to reduce their average energy use intensity by 20% by 2020. \nHowever\, it’s not uniformly springtime in the Groves of Academe. The state’s public universities\, which must comply with some of the strictest mandates\, often have the least resources at their disposal. That’s why AIANY is convening energy experts and a mix of private and public university officials to see how some schools have achieved reductions\, and to discuss how universities can achieve these targets\, especially if they are financially constrained

SUMMARY:New York City's Streams: A retrospective from the Welikia Project
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Eric W. Sanderson of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Welikia Project and author of Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City\, looks back at the more than 700 miles of streams that once coursed through the 5 boroughs. As beautiful as New York can be at times\, the big buildings are nothing compared to the humble artistry of a free-flowing stream running down to the sea. \n \nAfter seven years of effort\, he will share for the first time the digital elevation model of the pre-development topography his team has built\, discuss why the climate and geology of the city together make our landscape conducive to streams and springs\, give a borough by borough tour of ancient watersheds\, and suggest how we can bring living water back to the stony city again.\n \nArtist\, Eve Mosher\, will introduce Dr. Anderson. Ms. Mosher’s “High Water Line” installations engage the public in cities worldwide to envision how climate change will directly affect them as sea level rises.\n \nThis event is being co-sponsored by NYC H2O and CUNY Institute of Sustainability at Hunter College.\n \nDoors open at 6:30. Please RSVP at link\n

SUMMARY:It's Electrifying: Converting Heating Systems
DESCRIPTION:The second installment of our It’s Electrifying series explores the promise and practical barriers to electrifying heating systems in multifamily buildings. \nAs buildings of the future begin to be powered by electricity\, heating plants might need to move out of the basement and instead be distributed throughout the building via heat pumps. \nHow do architects design for this? What are the implications for tenant-landlord relationships and building operations? Do buildings have the necessary electrical infrastructure? Attendees will learn the latest thinking on heat pump technology and explore the opportunities and challenges for new and existing buildings. \nThis educational series builds upon Urban Green’s 2017 conference\, It’s Electrifying: Exploring NYC’s Climate Plan to Electrify Buildings\, which examined when building electrification might happen\, which technologies will arise\, and who will do the work.

SUMMARY:Educational Green Roofs Conference
DESCRIPTION:Green roofs can be used as outdoor classrooms all year round to study important topics such as weather patterns\, the water cycle\, climate change\, air and water quality\, stormwater management\, sustainable agriculture and biodiversity; they can also be great spaces for stretching\, nature study\, journaling\, and quiet reading. Studies have shown that the psychological benefits of green spaces\, like green roofs\, are substantial – they reduce stress\, boost attention\, and improve brain function. In addition\, green roofs have practical benefits. They can reduce carbon emissions and energy costs while reducing stormwater runoff and heat island effect; they also provide important habitat for local and migratory wildlife. \nIf your school has an underutilized roof space\, and you’ve been thinking about installing a green roof but weren’t sure where to turn for advice\, this conference is for you! Join other like-minded educators\, parents\, administrators and PS 41\, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer\, Comptroller Scott Stringer\, City Councilman Corey Johnson\, the National Wildlife Federation\, the NYC Department of Education’s Office of Sustainability\, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection\, and educational green roof pioneers\, for an Educational Green Roofs Conference. You’ll learn about the many benefits of educational green roofs\, what steps are required to launch a green roof project in your school\, how to fundraise for your green roof project\, construction and maintenance\, and how to integrate the green roof into your curriculum. A networking session will follow the conference and light refreshments will be served. Space is limited. Please RSVP by October 31\, 2017

SUMMARY:When the Waters Come\, Will Our Cities Survive?
DESCRIPTION:From Superstorm Sandy to the recent devastating effects of Hurricanes Harvey\, Irma\, and Maria\, natural disasters make it difficult to ignore the rapid changes our climate is undergoing.  \nSea levels and global temperatures are rising\, threatening the very existence of small island communities and historic cities alike. In response\, scientists and policy makers are fighting to hold back the devastating effects of a drowning world\, as Jeff Goodell chronicles in his new book\, The Water Will Come: Rising Seas\, Sinking Cities\, and the Remaking of the Civilized World. \nJoin Future Tense for a discussion about The Water Will Come with Class of 2016 New America fellow Jeff Goodell and a panel of environment and development experts. Will international efforts be able to save us from an impending “water world”? What are policy makers doing in light of the uptick of natural disasters and the devastation they bring communities? Will markets begin to price the risk of catastrophic damage inflicted by climate change?
